pressing the Del button might help. That or formatting it.Just iPod-whore yourself like the rest of us.Granted I have to open it every other month to retighten the loose hard drive cable. but other than that, nothing but tuneskis

Sorry for necroposting, but I am thinking about buying a new mp3 player since my previous one decided to die so I need a new one so any recommendations would help. Basically, what I need is an mp3 that can play video, have a large storage space for various video types as well as my music library and not be an ipod, since I really dislike having to use a program just to download music and videos to it.

Would anyone have any recommendations or mention their own experiences with mp3 players?

My Experiences: It plays both avi and mp4 videos natively on the player itself and plays mp3s natively. Not sure if they're gonna add native support for any other formats in the future. It has a built in web browser which is good plus a built in HD radio for your radio pleasure (my favorite feature). It has a SmartDJ feature that finds music similar to the band/singers you put up that you might like with many other features.

Stores photos and podcasts as well. So if you had any podcasts from itunes that you wanted to still listen to, you can find em on the Zune as well. The Zune does have apps, but not much of a selection right now and probably won't have a big one for a while. So if apps are your thing look elsewhere.

The player itself runs smooth and battery life is really long. I can get about a day and a half straight worth of battery before it dies just by playing mp3s. If I play videos or games within that time period it shaves off slightly more time, but not enough to notice. Has wireless sync ability if you want to sync a song really fast but don't want to fiddle with chords. I personally don't use this feature that often cause I tend to sync alot of music at one time and it takes forever to sync wirelessly when doing that. Can also charge either by AC adaptor (sold seperately) or can charge via usb calbe.

Man I sound like a commerical for this thing. Oh well, thats everything great about the Zune.
